previews

[ewoks]

just as an idea:
would it make sense to add mini photo of the printed model, so others get idea before printing?
An image (360p or 480p) file next to the model should be enough, so it it is previewed in a browser.

Thanks for consideration

Hi @ewoks - yep, that's a good idea! Certainly a better Readme would be good, explaining what the models are and what the modules in the pw_primitives.scad do.

Do you know if it's possible to give OpenSCAD a scene description (using the $vpr, $vpt, $vpf and $vpd variables, say) and get it to generate a scene into a .png file from the command line? I'd like to automate this if I can :-)

(Not that I'm putting that research on you, just asking...)

not really, I don't know that :( I'm just getting into whole 3d printing world
